This research aims to determine the factors associated with procrastination on a sample of 210 students of basic and baccalaureate education in Salcedo (Ecuador) with a mean of 13.81 of age and a standard deviation of 1.81 of age. The Academic Procrastination Scale (APS) was conducted based on gender, background (urban/ rural), academic year, economic status, after school activities (such as studying and supporting family businesses or simply studying). The findings show that economic status and day-to-day activities are significantly associated (p< .05) with academic procrastination. Hence, those who procrastinate less are better off financially or support their family business. On the other hand, it was found that procrastination vary by school year. Results indicate that Academic Procrastination (AP) is particularly sensitive to socioeconomic, academic and family factors.
